INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

OPERATING RESULTS AND PROFITABILITY

 

The Net Revenue for the year has shown a growth of 19% from Rs.6120.000 million to Rs.7233.000 million. Though the growth in volume terms remained constant at 8%, the value growth was driven by higher sales realizations both in domestic and export segments. Export earnings contributed significantly due to depreciation of rupee in second half of the financial year.

 

Domestic Sales increased by 12% from Rs.3362.000 million in the previous year to Rs. 3758.000 million. Export Sales grew by 27% to Rs.3316.000 million as against Rs.2603.000 million.

 

The growth in profitability is attributable to sustained efforts made by the Company to improve operational efficiency, cost saving measures initiated and favourable exchange rates. The rise in human resources cost was due to new recruitments to support increased operations, to retain talent and to provide training and development. Higher interest rates, increased utilisation of working capital limits and servicing of term loans availed for funding the expansion are the prime reasons for the increase in finance cost.

 

 

PERFORMANCE OF DIVISIONS AND BRANCH

 

Flexibles - Positive Packaging

 

Flexibles Division achieved Sales of Rs.6364.000 million as compared to Rs.5290.000 million in the previous year, recording a growth of 17%.

 

Rotogravure Printing Cylinders - Acuprint Systems

 

Sales of the Cylinder Division were Rs.417.000 million as against Rs. 386.000 million during the previous year, showing a growth of 8%.

 

Metallised Film - Sai Metaplast

 

This Division has achieved Sales of Rs.55.000 million during the year as against Rs. 47.000 million in the previous year. The value increase was due to additional share of manufactured sales as compared to job work. The volumes have gone down from 3,646 MT to 3,137 MT, a drop of 15% due to lack in demand.

 

Cast Polypropylene Films - Vista Film Packaging

 

The Division has been able to maintain Sales at Rs.397.000 million, same as per previous year, despite 6% drop in volume from 4,536 MT to 4,257 MT. This was possible due to increase in value add business of metallised film and unprinted laminates exports. Depreciation of rupee has helped in improving the realisation.

 

U.K. Branch - Positive Packaging Europe

 

The Company’s efforts to service better with stock and sale operations through the Branch are being well appreciated by customers. The Branch has maintained close co-ordination, availability of stock and logistics support. This has helped the Branch to increase its revenue by 52% to Rs.460.000 million from Rs. 302.000 million in the previous year.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Financial year 2011-12 was one of the most challenging years with the slowdown of the economy, unabated inflation and high interest rates.

 

Amendments proposed to give retrospective effect to taxation provisions and General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR) have shaken the confidence of India Inc. and investors, culminating in India reporting its lowest GDP growth in the Q4 of the fiscal year. The global environment also remained weak due to continuing Euro Zone crisis, US economy showing insignificant recovery and China registering a slow down after enjoying consistent growth for many years.

 

The Flexible Packaging industry continues to ride on customer preference over rigid packaging due to benefits such as functional convenience in handling and transportation, cost effectiveness, sustainability and shelf appeal. Brand protection from counterfeiting is also one of the reasons why more and more products are turning to flexible packaging and hence it has been witnessing growth on year on year basis.

 

Larger Companies have been facing challenges from small units in terms of pricing. But the trend seems to be changing steadily in favour of larger Companies due to failure of smaller units in deployment of latest and state-of-the-art technologies to provide innovative solutions to meet the customer demands.

 

Though, Packaging segment is not recession proof, Flexible packaging, in particular, enjoys distinct advantages over others because of the nature of the market it serves i.e. non-discretionary consumer category like food, hygiene and personal care products to name a few.

 

Globally, the flexible packaging industry has been growing at 3-5% per annum. In India , flexible packaging sector is historically growing at the rate of 15-18% per annum.

 

Innovation will be the key driver of the growth for flexible packaging industry. The Company is well positioned to exploit the potential to sustain the growth in the coming years.

 

The Company has been growing at a healthy rate and expects to maintain the momentum in the coming years.

 

Net Sales for the first five months of the current financial year 2012-13 i.e. from April to Aug 2012 are Rs. 3149.000 million as against Rs.2686.000 million in the corresponding period of the previous year, registering a growth of 17%.

 

 

EXPANSION AND DIVERSIFICATION PLANS

 

Flexibles Project at Bengaluru

 

The Board had approved putting up a green field project for flexible packaging project in the 2010-11 at Bengaluru. However, looking to the uncertainty created due to steep rise in raw material prices, attempts to put restrictions on usage of plastics for packaging and its likely impact on demand, the Board had decided to defer the project for some time.

 

In the intervening period, the Company has expanded Flexibles capacity at its Khopoli Plant and also acquired a new Unit with Flexo Printing facilities. There is stability in raw material prices and no adverse effect on demand for flexible packaging has been witnessed. In view of these positive developments, the Board has decided to go ahead with the project and a decision would be taken by end of September 2012 after evaluating suitable technology, products and type of machineries to be bought for the project.

 

In order to expedite project implementation, preliminary civil construction activities have been initiated at site.

 

New Acquisition Flexographic Printing the Company is continuously on the lookout for growth- organic or inorganic. The Company had identified a Unit known as ICM Packaging Private Limited (ICM) at Ambernath, near Mumbai, Maharashtra. This Unit has got latest flexographic printing facility and two 7 layer Blown Film lines. As Bengaluru project, which was originally intended to set up with flexo printing facilities was deferred, the Company has decided to take over such a readily available manufacturing unit so that operations could commence immediately to tap the unexplored market for these products.

 

The Unit has become a Wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company w.e.f. 27 th March 2012.

 

 

RENEWSYS DIVISION

 

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Film

 

The EVA project has been executed as per schedule and trial runs have been completed in March 2012. There were minor technical issues which have been addressed by the machinery manufacturer in April 2012. Also, certification from TUV, a worldwide Inspection, Certification and Testing organization for Energy Sector and Consent to Operate from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board have been received subsequently.

 

Due to withdrawal or reduced support to solar industry from Governments globally, this industry is witnessing a slowdown. Solar projects have been kept on hold and this has affected the demand for their product which is used in solar panels. The Division is in the process of getting the customer approvals for its production facility and product quality and the orders are expected to be received thereafter.

The Division would be facing a challenging situation unless the demand picks up. The Division may not achieve the projected sales and profitability in the current financial year.

 

Back Sheet for Solar Panels

 

The technology for manufacture of back sheets has been finalized and accordingly orders for machineries have been released. The project is under execution and is expected to go on stream in the first quarter of 2013.
